Going ...Thanks for round-tabling this one, Drayton. Going forward, and vectoring projected anti-jargon bias from assorted demograph sub-strata into the equation, I'd postulate that this one could run and run. It certainly has the legs. What's obviously required is a blue skies approach, and if I might tentatively suggest a think-tank assemblage of opinion formers, heat seekers and, well, consultants then it's possible to speculate that we might, in the fullness of time, actually get this baby off the ground.<BR/><BR/>Have Blackberry.
